Popped big whitehead by accident!!! help!!?
So i have a huge whitehead to my right of my nose, and i decided to put a face mask i ha on it so it would reduce the swelling and help clear it. So i was taking the mask off, and i was being EXTREMELY gentle, and the top of the whitehead tore off and it started to pus and bleed (not a ton, but noticeable). So i quickly put Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit wash and it and then splashed it off, and now I have ice on it, and the bleeding has stopped, and most of the pus. What do i do??? Should I do more? I'm really scared it'll scare or be there for days!!! I also cleaned the area around it. HELP!!!!!

Gently squeeze it to make sure all the pus is out, then re-wash your face and hold more ice over it. If you are gentle and don't scar the skin or squeeze too hard then it shouldn't be there for days, if I ever have a huge spot, I squeeze it, there is a mark for a day and then it vanishes. Pus is much better out than in, sometimes getting it all out is a good thing.
If you have any sudocrem, try applying a small amount of that and leaving it overnight, that sometimes reduces swelling.

Sure, it was a pimple, and what happened is common. It will be strange if it didnt bleed after popping a pimple. It shouldnt leave a scar, or at least not a very obvious scar. If i bought a scar on my face each time i popped a pimple, i'd appear like a mutant :)

Calm down, it's just a pimple. Even if it did stay on for days, it would eventually come off. Put some makeup over it so it won't look as noticable.
